The Qur'an makes the following statements regarding the food that unbelievers will have in hell:
No food will there be for them but a bitter Dhari S. 88:6 Y. Ali
Nor hath he any food except the foul pus from the washing of wounds, S. 69:36 Y. Ali
Obviously, both kinds of ‘food’ are chosen to evoke a feeling of horror when thinking about Hell. However, the contradiction is in the double claim that this or that will be the only food, i.e.
•No food except Dhari (88:6).
•No food except foul pus (69:36).
There is yet another passage that is relevant to this discussion:
Is that the better entertainment or the Tree of Zaqqum?
For We have truly made it (as) a trial for the wrong-doers.
For it is a tree that springs out of the bottom of Hell-Fire:
The shoots of its fruit-stalks are like the heads of devils:
Truly they will eat thereof and fill their bellies therewith.
Then on top of that they will be given a mixture made of boiling water.
Then shall their return be to the (Blazing) Fire. S. 37:62-68 Y. Ali; cf. 56:52
Thus, regarding this one topic alone, the Qur'an contains three contradictions:
1."Eating of the tree of Zaqqum" (37:66) contradicts "eating only Dhari" (88:6).
2."Eating of the tree of Zaqqum" (37:66) contradicts "eating only foul pus" (69:36).
3."Eating only Dhari" (88:6) contradicts "eating only foul pus" (69:36).
Muslims what can you say about this?

Do you even know arabic? Those are all the same thing. A nasty bodily fluid. Do your research. It's all the same. Learn arabic, then you'll see a lot of what you thought was wrong.

Oh for God's sake! Learn a bit Arabic or at least why don't you look for the meanings of Zaqum and dhari and just understand tht they are all the same?

You are very right to question a book written by just a man. Many have written books that they say an Angel told them to write. Beware of many false teachings such as this one, it's Satan's way of deceiving mankind in beliving the wrong words of God. The Bible is the only true words of God.
